With this tribute we close, believing that the
tardy justice accorded to our martyr-hero is destined
to become a nation-wide loyalty; that the
day will yet come when our nation, as a nation,
will recognize the nobility of nature displayed,
and will assign a high place to the brave lad who so
sublimely relinquished all that life held, and all
that coming years might bring, to die for his country,
-- _our country,_ -- the high-souled Nathan Hale.
